Now that Khan's climbing to LWW...

In todays boxing news Hatton has stated he will never fight Khan. Khan has run away from the best division there is into a weak division beacause he cant go no further in it and he and Warren know that.. He will never be No.1 At Lightweight or Light Welter. If Prescott has him in cuckoo land then Urango has im leaving in a bag. Not a hater but it's a fact. Urango is a beast !

 

Bradley schooled Witter like he was still in Kindergarten that night. If Witter was capable of beating Bradley at a canter he wouldn't have needed to show any interest, would he?

IMHO Bradley is probably the most under-rated champ out there right now.

 

Tim Bradley one of the worst World champions? atsch
At the moment I would say opposite, one of the best.
Beat Witter in the UK, and unified against Holt in his last two fights.
He'd probably beat Urango and Kotelnik for a start, so he is not the worst World champion in his division, let alone all divisions.

 

With Pac and Hatton in it, it's hardly the weaker division. Khan's simply gone into a divison where getting a belt is easier because everyone would rather face Kotelnik than Marquez.

Don't forget Khan is big at the weight and did get sparked 2 fights ago. Stepping up to be healthier and win a belt ain't bad. Even if he is avoiding stronger competition, it may be the smarter move.

Khan's avoided Murray and Thaxton. That will stay with him until the day he dies.

 

what the **** is this all about khan running away from the division, he was WBO no1 contender, marquez is going to step up soon and that would have given khan a chance to fight someone else for a world title.

Khan was weight drained at lightweight but i feel he should have had one more fight at that weight to try and grab the WBO belt

 

bradley would wipe the floor with khan,to much pressure and body shots,khan dont like being hit in the gut.
if holt caught khan like he caught bradley,right uppercut then left hook,BIG left hook,he would of knocked khan into 2020.
frankie boy has just looked at all the champs in both divisions and got probley the weakest of the bunch,who will beat khan anyway i reacon

 

no doubt about it :good

 

khan cant beat any top 3 lww

 

Murray is unproven and he's beaten anyone worth note to be even considered an avoided fighter. Lets see Khan has a choice between a 34yr old fighter in Thaxton who was outboxed by a 14-5 fighter in his last fight, a domestic level fighter in Murray OR fight for a world title against a bigger a opponent in a higher weight class. Ok granted Kotelnik isnt the best out there but he's certainly a solid fringe world fighter. Besides Khan has been 135 since he was 17 yrs old maybe its time to move up.

 

Murray was the undefeated British champ and Khan the undefeat C'Wealth champ. Earlier on, Khan was not proven either. The whole idea is that these sort of fights are made so one of them can jump to the next stage. Khan used his popularity and Warrens money/connections to jump a few stages. This can't be condoned. It's boxing, you are meant to fight your way to the top.

Also, Khan was Thaxton's mandatory but relinquished that right. This is another thing that can't be condoned in boxing. So what if Thaxton has just lost, Khan was blitzed by an unproven fighter. Thaxton was British and Euro champ, twice the fight could have been made.

I have no problem with Khan avoiding JMM and co. If you aren't 100% then move up. No point getting hurt for the hell of it. He might be fitter, stronger and more powerful at a more natural weight for him.

Khan can be a legend but like Hatton never made the Witter fight, Khan will never shake off the fact that he didn't make the Murray and Thaxton fights.

 

he wouldnt prove anything by beating these two, end of

 

Khan will get knocked out by Witter, Bradley, Torres, Holt... Urango and Hatton send him to hospital. His ability to take a punch will not be helped by moving up a weight. He's not struggling to make the weight so this shouldn't have a detremental effect to his china chin. He hasn't proved himself at even Domestic level @ Lightweight, why does he get to compete for World honours at L/Welter ? Champions at one weight get a straight shot at a belt in a higher division because they've proved there worth as a champion already. Khan has won **** all at domestic or world level at lightweight so he SHOULD NOT get a world title shot at L/Welter.

 

Making a statement like this just goes to show that you are either on the wind-up or are a novice and have no conception of the pugilistic art. Winning a fight by one or two clear rounds is not a schooling, that is a close fight.

Bradley is certainly not under-rated...he is IMO completely over-rated on the back of a close win over an out of sorts Witter, a UD over the mighty Edner Cherry and a very shaky UD against Holt...hardly the CV or form of a legend is it.

 

Who's talking about a legend?

The Witter out of sorts line is BS. Bradley made him look poor that night. I thought the scorecards were flattering to Witter, but you can't expect anything else against a current champion on his own turf.

Look at it this way, what, exactly has Witter done since? Rematch? errrmm...no.

 

The scorecards were flattering, no doubt, and it isn't something that I would welcome or expect, home town fighter or not. I have seen probably 70% of Witters fights live and in person, and believe me you can tell before the first bell whether Junior is up for it or not....that night it was patently obvious that he wasn't. The out of sorts line is not bull**** at all, even though you won't hear him make the excuse... The week of the fight his old man had been diagnosed with cancer, he was having other domestic problems and he was really struggling to make weight.

Rematch....after the fight I thought Junior would retire but he seems to have sorted himself out and believe me Witter would have Bradleys ****ing arm off. He realises he made a **** of himself in Nottingham that night, and he wouldn't make the same mistakes again. I truly believe that Witter would stop Bradley next time around, if Holt can nearly do it then Junior certainly can.

Bradley school Witter....never.
